Fedora flickering in virtualbox

Posted on by Andy

The screen flickering is wayland related, so you need to use Xorg as window manager:

  1. Open /etc/gdm/custom.conf into a text editor
  2. Uncomment WaylandEnable, if it is commented out, and ensure it is set to false
  3. Add DefaultSession=gnome=xorg.desktop to the daemon section
  4. Restart the machine.
